“Jelly Purple” 12ct Holley Blue Agate ring in sterling
$300.00
Do you want to know the most common question I’m asked at live sales events? It’s “What’s that purple stuff?”
This is Holley Blue Agate. The name is a little misleading because most of it is a lavender to almost grape jelly purple, the later being the most highly sought-after.
Not only is it rare, but it’s getting rarer every day because the place we used to mine it in Linn County Oregon has been closed to public digging since the 90’s and there’s no other source.
This ring features a large 12ct piece of some of the juiciest purple agate you’ve ever seen. It’s set in a sterling silver bezel, and wow, does it pop!
I have quite a few pieces made with this stone, but this one is special.

3 coil Oregon Pink Opal and Sunstone memory wire bracelet
Here's a very pretty memory wire bracelet with three coils. It's a fairly simple design but elegant and easy to wear.
It's a sterling silver plated memory wire with Oregon Sunstone and Oregon Pink opal beads. The material for the opal beads comes from the Pink Lady opal mine near John Day, and the Oregon Sunstone is from the rabbit basin in Lake County, Oregon.
I just love the variation in color on this material. From very light pink and white to almost a maroon color.
The bracelet is just barely big enough for even a large man like myself to wear, but on a much smaller person, it's going to fit much better.
The ends are finished with a pink opal bead on each, dangling from a welded sterling silver end.

Here's a great set of 7mm bicolor Oregon Sunstones set into a pair of simple and elegant sterling silver studs.
The copper schiller shines with an otherworldly glow that seems to radiate from inside the stones. Colors are green and bronzy tone. Certainly not your everyday.
Oregon Sunstone, the states official gemstone, is mined in the Eastern Oregon Outback in desolate conditions.
These stones are 6mm each, and the pair weighs just over 2.2ct.

Two lovely 8mm Holley Blue Agate caboshons mounted in sterling silver post earrings.
They're simple, yet so elegant. The delicate lavender color with a slight bit of peach is just perfect.
Holley Blue used to be sourced near Sweethome OR, but the collection site was closed down about 35 years ago. The only way to get it now is through someone like myself who had collected it years ago.
Each cabochon weighs about 3ct.
At the moment, there is just one pair available like this. I may be making more soon.
Oregon “Neopolitan” earrings
I'm calling these earrings "Oregon Neopolitan" because of the colors of the stones.
All three stones are Oregon natives. The first is "Vanilla" (or clear) Oregon Sunstone. The second is a "Chocolate" Oregon Fire Opal from Opal Butte near John Day. The third pink stone, you may not be familiar with. It's a pink common opal, also found near Opal Butte from the Pink Lady mine. This one, I call "Strawberry" pink opal. It's rounded out by another sweet "Vanilla" Oregon Sunstone bead.
All set on sterling silver wire, hand fashioned and micro welded together.
Oregon Sunstone and moissanite ring set in 14k Rose Gold
An exquisite 3.53ct Oregon Sunstone with luscious dark pink color and schiller, set in 14k rose gold with a moissanite halo.
This ring exudes luxury without breaking the bank. The basket setting has a regal look, and the moissanoite halo gives it loads of sparkle. It is truly fit for a fairytale princess.
This ring is a US size 7 but can be easily resized if need be by any competent jeweler.
Please note that care should be taken with Oregon Sunstone as it's not the toughest stone, I'd recommend this ring for occasional wear rather than every day.
Whether you're giving this ring for engagement, a birthday, Mother's Day, anniversary, or any other occasion, this ring is sure to bring a great deal of joy.

Oregon Sunstone was revered by the indigenous people of Oregon who used it in medicine wheel ceremonies and often would bury their dead with this sacred stone.
The folklore is that one day, a great warrior was injured by an enemies arrow. As he fell to the ground, his blood stained the crystals, inbuing them with his spirit (thus, the red color of some Oregon Sunstone).
